Turtlenecks for Tough Guys

Mainstream men? You mean the guys we are trying to change? Turtlenecks are great, with the possible exception of when they are trying to hide something. I once knew a certain man of stylish ambitions who wore them constantly, thinking they were concealing his additional chins, when in fact they were only calling attention to them. I don't wear turtlenecks much, because my neck is sensitive. I think perhaps I was a horse thief in a former life. You can wear a turtleneck under a blazer, a sports jacket, or even another sweater, if it's not too thick. The thick sort should go solo. Every jewel thief should have a black turtleneck.
